TIE INTERSTATE RAILWAY LAW.
Important Result of the Redistribution Of
Rates-ReductioD on Grain and Provisions.

New YORK, March 3.-Speaking OF the re-
classification Of freight rates by the trunk lines
and their Western connections, under the inter
state law, the Tribune will say tomorrow:
''One important result of the new classified
ton is the placing of grain and provisions in
classes which reduce the rate on April l. 5 cents
per hundred pounds to the basis of % cents on
grain from Chicago to New York, and 30 cents
on provisions. The cutting of east bound freight
rates at the West is general and extensive, and
the Chesapeake & Ohio line is accused of making
rates to Newport News less than 20 cents on
grain. The other lines to the Atlantic seaboard
are making rates far below the existing tariff,
and at An informal discussion of the subject, to
day, it was agreed that nothing could be done to
correct the situation with the April reduction
pending before shippers. 1t was the general
sentiment that the execution of the new law
would have to be the means of reforming the
cutting. and the commissioners pleased that
the United States is soon to undertake the task
OF preserving an open and uniform tariff, work
which the SO called pool arrangements have so
Tar failed to accomplish"

The Printers Strike at MiIwaukeo-Both

Special to the Irdjanapolis Journal.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, March 3-The printers
strike continues. and is assuming formidable
proportions, the pressmen and the stereo-
typers of the daily newspapers having struck to-
day in support OF the demands of the compos-
itors. The Sentinel and Wisconsin are appear
ing as half sheets. The Journal appears in it's
regular form, and says it has ten printers, ed
itors, etc.. who will set type right along. Last
night several non-union printers arrived from
Cleveland. They worked half the night on the
Sentinel. and to-day the Wisconsin. Ten
more arrived to-day from Cleveland and they
were met at the depot and taken in hacks to the
Offices. 1t is claimed that fifty non-union men
from the East will reach Milwaukee tomorrow.
The proprietors stand firm in their resolve not
to give in. and the printers equally as firm
that they will have to.
Another dispatch says: 1.-THE striking printers
this afternoon offered to return the condi-
tions of the compromise suggested By the pub
fishers before the strike, but they were told that
there was work for union men. The press
men have been called OUT but the papers will be
issued as usual. The boss job printers also re-

CLEVELAND In 1888.

He Talks Frankly About the Possibilities
and Probabilities of Next Year.
Special to st. Louis Globe Democrat.
The President has been talking about 1888. 1t
happened in this way. The subject Of the int
state-commerce commssionerships was under
consideration, and the issue of politics was
brought in. The question was whether a GER
tain gentleman whom the President desired to
have upon the commission could afford to &C.
cept Very frankly the point was made that
MIR. Cleveland might not be his own successor,
In which event the one accepting the commits
sionership for the short term would serve dur
ing the perplexing and unsatisfactory period
that the law being put in operation and
would then, in all probability, find himself
thrown out The gentleman was proceeding to
apologize for bis plainness of speech, when Mr..
Cleveland interrupted him:
That is right; speak frankly. Politics are
very uncertain. | may be renominated and |
may not be. If L am renominated the election
is not sure If the Republicans nominate ALI
son and Hawley, Allison will evidently carry
Indiana. Hawley will carry Connecticut and
New Jersey | should expect to carry Oregon
and California, oct how is it about Virginia and
North Carolinlap This is the frankest express
sion that has come from the President on the
subject of the next presidential campaign.

Suffering Among strikers.

DUBOIS, Pa, March 3-Great excitement pre-
walls among the miners at Tyler this week For
several weeks the men have been out on strike,
and were unable to come to an agreement with
the operators. Special police have been on duty,
and yesterday they were notified to evct the
miners from the company houses, as new men
were ready to take the places Of the strikers. A,
one house a sick woman was carried out on hel
bed, and at another it is said the police broke in
door and forcibly removed the inmates and
household goods. Fifty men who worked in the
collery are out, and eleven non-union miners
are working at present. The work of removing
the strikers families still goes on to-day, and
the suffering among the poorer families from
the weather is great.

The Charges Against Greedy.

Washington Special.
When such dignifed members of the Senate
military committee as joe Hawlev, Don Cam
eron, Ben Harrison, Wade Hampton and Mr..
Cockrel. of Missoui, for example. dropped into
their accustomed seats in the commttee-room,
this morning, each inquired of the other what
the presence of So many well-dressed women
outside meant The clerk explained to them
that they desired to hear Mrs Dr.. PAWS argu-
ment against the confirmation Of Captain Greedy
as Chief Signal Officer OF the army
'By heavens~ exclaimed Mr.. Harrison, excit-
eddy, do they take this for second Emmons
trial, where they can sit all day long and out
rage the prophecies by Kissing or applauding
as they choosel / move that they be not ad-
mitted"
The remainder Of the committee seconded the
Indianians suggestion, and this is the reason
why the corridor nearest the military committee
room was crowded for two hours this morning
with as angry set Of women as ever gathered
within its walls. Mrs PAWS testimony briefly
was that Mr.. Greedy had treated her husband
unjusty; that he bad attempted to rob him of
the scientific honor he had won and in other
ways showed his jealousy and dislike OF him.
Mr. Greedy was then heard in his own defense.
He denied Mrs PAWS charges in toto, and ap-
parently satisfied the committee that they pos
sessed no foundation whatever in fact. There
is no reason to doubt that tho committee report
In Mr.. Greelys case will be favorable one and
that he will be confirmed without opposition be

No Rebate for Drummers.

CHICAGO, March 3.-The general managers of
tie ices and members of the Western, North
western and Southwestern passenger associa-
tons, in considering the report of the general
passenger agents. have arrived at a decision in
regard to mileage tickets, to the effect that to
allow the present rebate of S. to commercial
travellers is discrimination under the new law.
Accordingly, orders were issued to-day by all
of the Western roads to hereafter discontinue
the sale of rebate tickets, but to furnish mileage
tickets as heretofore to the general public at the
rate Of % cents per mile The question of pay
ment of commissions was also gone over. and a
conclusion reached that they should only be paid
to regular ticket agents, all outsiders to be cut
off. The conclusions of the passenger agents as
to other points involved were adopted sub
stantalv as submitted.

Without the Presidents Signature.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-The bill for the re-

amy bill have become laws without the Presi

night, Of the constitutional limitation of ten
days within which be should have returned the
bills to Congress in case of disapproval. Both
bills were carefully considered by the President,
and while they contained some provisions to
which he preferred not to commit himself, he
was unwilling to defeat the objects of the meas
ures by veto. In view of the lack of vault
room in the New York sub treasury, where it is
presumed the bulk of the trade dollars will be
presented for redemption, acting Secretary
Fairchild has instructed the assistant treasurer
at New York to forward the coins as fast as re-
deemed, to the assay Office, where they will be
melted into bars of convenient size, each repre-
enting about 81 800 and stored In that Office
until vault room is provided for their safe
keeping.
